Lyrics... UPDATED!

Remember when I did this last year? It was fun!

Here are 25 different lyrics, all from different songs that I have in my music library. Post a comment with your guesses! Make sure you say what number you are guessing (name of song and artist or what group the lyrics are from, you are allowed to guess more than one...) and your name.

Rules:
1 No Googleing!
2. No double posting (if you post here, no xanga or myspace comments etc.)
